The Quinsigamond Community College 2013 commencement has been rescheduled from an outdoor ceremony Thursday afternoon to 4 p.m. Friday at the Exhibition Hall at the DCU Center because of expected thunderstorms.

The exercises will recognize the largest graduating class in the school’s history, awarding associate degrees or certificates to 1,315 graduates.

William J. Teuber Jr., vice chairman of EMC Corp., will receive the 2013 Trustee’s Citizen’s Award, the highest award the college’s board bestows on a private citizen. The recognition is in honor of Mr. Teuber’s years of leadership in advancing EMC’s support of the STEM program at the college, particularly the Women in Technology and Robotics programs on the campus.
